Psalms 71:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.

4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.

5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.

6 I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.

7 I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
